    La inmigración de jóvenes haitianos a la ciudad de Cuenca y sus proyectos de vida en el marco de las políticas migratorias ecuatorianas
    (2017) Ortiz Pinos, Dolores Paulina; González Espinoza, Clementina
    The present study has as its main objective to analyze the peculiarities of the Haitian community living in the city of Cuenca within the context of its migratory process that was the result of the earthquake of 2010. The conceptions of racial discrimination are assumed as a concrete reality that affects their life in the place of destination and why their migratory situation could be affected in face of economic, bureaucrat and social difficulties, and by the restrictive policies imposed on this population in particular. Likewise, we try to identify the Haitian community that is resident in our city, particularizing them as a “new type of migrant”, in the sense that its migratory process was not motivated from the economic perspective, since the city of Cuenca is not precisely a preferred destination for the generation of youths who are looking to “make money”, choosing for this end, other traditional destinations such as the Dominican Republic, the United States or Brazil, but rather a migration whose motivation is the educational aspect that encompasses elements of achievement and personal growth.
